REFNo: HS2291ES

4. Determine the Onchocerca infection status of S. damnosum s.l. in northern Uganda and, if possible, correlate this with microbiome structure,3. Determine S. damnosum s.l. microbiomes for symbionts of potential value in biological vector control,2. Quantify the extent of variation in adult S. damnosum s.l. microbiomes and the determinants of this variation,1. Determine the gut microbiome of adult Simulium damnosum sensu lato (s.l.), the most abundant vector of O. volvulus in northern Uganda,To generate baseline data for further important and therefore eminently fundable research on exploration of innovative Simulium-borne disease-control strategies aimed to reduce vectorial capacity and/or inhibiting pathogen transmission,
